Concussions strike players with equal opportunity. How the team deals with the roster spot is another story depending on the time of the season and who the player is.
LB Jeff Tarpinian suffered a head injury (a nicer way for the team to say concussion) and was placed on season ending IR. His journey to the NFL was a good story after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa.
He survived until the final cut in training camp when the team released him on Sept 12th. They thought enough of him to add him to their practice squad two days later. On Sept 24th he was signed to the 53 man roster.
He played in seven games, including one start. He missed the last two games which must have made the team realize that it was time to move on without him.
